It turned out that the controller software is only available debian
packaged. So unless the android app will do the job it's a nogo -:(
You could download and "dnf install alien", download the unifi code and
alien -r unifi_sysvinit_all.deb
to convert the downloaded DEB to an RPM. Then install the RPM. I can't
absolutely guarantee it'll work, but since all the software is free,
why not give it a whirl!
